Introduction: Volkswagen Transporter T5 Cup Holder Drinks Holder

By

The problem

The OEM Volkswagen cup holder works by retracting to & from the dashboard, when it pops out there are two flaps which hold two drinks. However the flaps work on a spring mechanism which often breaks. The flaps also put too much pressure on paper cups (such as those from drive-thrus) and can cause them to spill.
